UNCASVILLE, Conn. — The Women’s Hall of Fame Showcase featured six teams ranked in the women’s basketball Associated Press Top 25, and the competition didn’t disappoint. While there weren’t any upsets as has been the case most weekends of the season so far, there were three quality contests involving six teams likely to make noise in the 2024 NCAA tournament.

“You can’t turn on a women’s game right now and be bored,” North Carolina head coach and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) president Courtney Banghart said. “It’s just not possible.”

No. 1 South Carolina, No. 2 UCLA and No. 17 UConn all walked out of Mohegan Sun Arena with résumé-building wins as teams turn toward conference games this month. Here’s what we learned from seven hours of elite basketball in Connecticut on Sunday.

UConn isn’t done

Paige Bueckers turned a mourning into a block party, making a statement that UConn’s quest for another deep NCAA tournament run is far from over. The entire team looked more hungry than they had in recent games, and Bueckers was in classic Naismith-winner mode even if there are issues still to be cleaned up.

She scored a game-high 26 points, 17 in the first half, and pumped stats into every part of the box score. Defensively, she was stout. The 5-foot-11 guard had three of the team’s 10 steals and four of the team’s six blocks. It bested her previous career-high of two.

When asked if they know their wingspans, Aaliyah Edwards jested that Bueckers’ was…

Glenn Laudenslager III, who has been the coordinator for the Monroe Men’s 35 and over softball league for the past 10 years, has been umpiring and scheduling umpires for adult softball games for the Monroe Parks and Recreation Department for a total of 32 years.

His dedication to the sport has not gone unnoticed. Laudenslager won the Above and Beyond the Call of Duty Award at the Connecticut Recreation and Parks Association’s 63rd Annual Conference, held at the Mohegan Sun Convention Center on Nov. 20 and 21.

Missy Orosz, director of the Monroe Parks and Recreation Department, nominated Laudenslager for the honor.

“Glenn has a gentle soul and loves softball so much,” she wrote in her nomination letter to the CRPA Awards Committee. “He is there for our Friday night program every week keeping an eye on all the games, as well as the 146 players, countless fans and coordinating the umpires. At times he can be seen umpiring if necessary and handling any situation that can arise.”

Laudenslager also schedules umpires for other surrounding communities such as Trumbull and Shelton, according to Orosz.

“What makes Glenn so unique is that back in the Spring of 2019 he suffered a stroke which left him paralyzed on one side,” Orosz said. “He didn’t let that stop him, even though he had to miss the rest of that season. He worked so hard from the hospital, answering calls, doing emails, scheduling games, which forced him in therapy to go the extra mile to work harder.”

Two Mohegan Lake residents have been charged in separate cases by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

U.S. Attorney Damien Williams announced last week that Gina Mestre, 33, a former New York City police officer, pleaded guilty in connection with her involvement in obstructing a federal investigation into the Shooting Boys gang and serving as an accessory to a murder committed by the gang’s leader.

Mestre could face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of accessory after the fact to murder in aid of racketeering.

“As she has now admitted, Gina Mestre, a former NYPD Officer, abused her position of public trust and betrayed the oath she took to protect and serve the citizens of New York City by helping a gang member evade capture for a murder of a rival gang member that he committed in broad daylight,” Williams said in a statement.

“When law enforcement officers break the laws they are sworn to uphold, they do a disservice to their fellow officers, to the departments that employ them and to the public they serve.”

As alleged in the indictment, Mestre, a police officer from July 2013 to May 2022, was assigned to the 52nd Precinct’s Public Safety Unit. In the summer of 2020, a major focus of the precinct and the Public Safety Unit was the reduction of gun violence, much of which was committed by members of the Shooting Boys gang.

The Shooting Boys gang is a criminal organization based in the University Heights section of the Bronx. The gang’s territory and base of operations fell within the jurisdiction of the NYPD’s 52nd Precinct. The leader of the Shooting Boys was Andrew Done, a/k/a “Caballo.”

In June 2020, Mestre began communicating with Done through secret social…

The top teams took care of business this week as conference games loom later in the month. Only Penn State, which entered the poll at No. 25 last week, and Washington State, which was ranked No. 21, lost to a team ranked lower than it.

The bottom of the rankings are the most interesting and will likely shake up again with so many teams earning votes in last week’s poll. Seventeen teams were in voters’ individual ballots last week that did not have enough points to earn a ranking in the final collective rankings. There are 19 undefeated teams in Division I and 32 with one loss.

I am an AP voter this season and will share my ballot weekly with team results and reasonings for movement in my rankings. (The full AP poll results are below.)

1. South Carolina (9-0)

The Gamecocks did nothing to lose their spot atop the poll, though they had another close call in a 78-69 win against then-No. 11 Utah. They can adjust their focal point to different weapons and they’ve remained poised in close, late contests. The win over Utah was their second against a team ranked top five in the latest NET rankings. Their résumé is what puts them above UCLA.

2. UCLA (9-0)

The Bruins looked like a clear Final Four team in a 95-78 win over then-No. 20 Florida State at the Women’s Hall of Fame Showcase on Sunday. And head coach…

Regrouping after a loss at Texas dropped them to 4-3, the UConn women’s basketball team righted the ship with a pair of wins over Ball State and North Carolina last week.

The Huskies didn’t move up in the AP Top 25 poll as a result, but for the first time since Week 3 of the rankings, they didn’t move down either.

UConn remained at No. 17 in the latest poll after a 76-64 win over UNC on Sunday, holding in that spot, which happens to be their lowest ranking in the Top 25 poll since 1993.

North Carolina fell one spot to No. 25 after the loss, which was part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase at Mohegan Sun Arena. South Carolina remained a unanimous No. 1 in the poll after beating No. 11 Utah in an earlier game in the event.

UCLA, North Carolina State, Iowa and Texas followed the Gamecocks in the Top 25. USC, LSU, Colorado, Stanford and Baylor rounded out the top 10. It was the first time this season that the top 10 teams were unchanged in the poll after a series of upsets.

UNLV and Miami entered the Top 25 for the first time this season. The Rebels came in at No. 23 and the Hurricanes at 24. Penn State and Washington State dropped out.

CLIMBING CATS

Kansas State continues to climb the poll, moving up to No. 12. It’s the Wildcats’ best ranking since the team was eighth in the final poll of the 2004 season. Kansas State’s only loss came against Iowa in a Thanksgiving tournament, 10 days after the Wildcats beat the Hawkeyes. Jeff Mittie’s team doesn’t face another ranked opponent until a home game against Texas on Jan. 13.

The Town of Hebron ushered in the holiday season, on Dec. 2, with an afternoon of events centered around the Douglas Library.

“We put this on every year,” said Brianna Alessio, a program supervisor with the parks and recreation department, as she set up luminaria in front of the library.

Alessio said the event was a collaboration between the Hebron Historical Society, Parks and Rec, the Douglas Library, the Hebron Town Hall and the American Legion, with a train setup in the Old Town Hall provided by the Mohegan Pequot Railroad Club.

Scheduled for the afternoon were games in the parking lot of the library, crafts, a table with photo props, a holiday storytime inside the library, a visit from Santa, food provided by the American Legion, and the tree-lighting.

“At five o’clock we get to choose one child who’s at the event to light the Christmas tree,” said Alessio.

Inside the Old Town Hall, before the event officially started, folks had already gathered to view the model railroad.

“We’ve been coming here for about five years now,” said Mohegan Pequot Railroad club president, Tom Snyder.

Snyder said the club is capable of providing a setup featuring as many as 80 modules, though the 12 by 20 setup in the town hall was on the small side. The club has been around since 1980.

“We have a lot of fun doing the event,” said Snyder. “We enjoy trains, and the people who enjoy trains.”

The Hebron Snofolk also made an appearance for the Holiday Event. Eight in total, the Snofolk are sponsored by the Hebron Town Center Project. They were crafted by local creative folks several years ago, and are kept in storage for the warmer months, making their reappearance in time for the holiday season
